Lightsaber

By April Welles






There is a planet in the Outer Reaches of the Upper Rim of a galaxy far, far away. It is known as Norda Khota. From this planet come many Jedi. They have skills in the Force that are rarely rivaled and quite amazing. Even Master Yoda learned from the Norda Khotan master, Fahr-Go, for a time - Before Master Fahr-Go was cut down during a lightsaber duel.

The Norda Khotans do have a unique way of building their lightsabers. They seem to do quite well when it comes to lighting their way for their padawan learners. However, in a duel, well.... That is why they have become so much more accomplished at Force powers than most other Jedi.

These are images of Master Fahr-Go's lightsaber (before his demise).

I built this over a couple of hours on a Sunday. I used a paper towel tube, memory foam (a type of foam rubber), Elmer's Spray Adhesive, aluminum fFoil, Gorilla Tape, reflective tape (used for R/C airplanes), a box of matches, and a paper clip (the paper clip is to attach the saber to your belt).

I had wanted to build this for a few years now and finally decided to do so. Being born and raised (for a while) in North Dakota, I have heard a few North Dakotan jokes. So I felt, "what the hell." And I had fun.
